The 14th Amendment does not apply to businesses. It did, however, allow the government to make laws interfering with a business owner's right to choose who they associate with.
That's right... I keep forgetting... nothing applies to business. Not policy, not laws, not ethics, not the consumer, not their employees... Only the stockholders and their CEO's. How stupid of me to forget that.
Once again... thank you Rand Paul... now go cut some holes in your linens.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Some of you people fucking amaze me.
Do you understand that an airplane is in fact nothing more than a private business, and that as such they can refuse service to ANYONE?? What happened to " stop taking away our rights?" Well, business owners have the right to serve those they want and not serve those who they don't want to serve. And yes, I fully believe that portions of the Civil Liberty laws in this country are unconstitutional for this very reason.
Again, funny how rights are only important when they are YOUR rights.
Thank you Rand Paul.
Business should not have to serve blacks if they don't want to. The 14th Amendment is unconstitutional.
Bullshit. If they were cleared at every waypoint in between the concourse and the plane, the pilot should have ZERO say in the matter. Security cleared them. They are good to go.
BTW.... an Airplane is not a business. An Airline is. A pilot is an employee of an Airline... not an Airplane.
TSA Screened them three times and the paranoid pilot refused to take off.
So.... what was the AIRLINE'S stance on this?
On one hand, I am proud of you for sticking up for the worker... on the other hand, I know that wasn't your intention, lastly... it was a fearful and bigoted pilot's action... not an Airline policy.

for all intents and purposes an airplane is no different than your own property. Do you have the right to toss people off your property for any or NO reason?
